Easier registration for everyone
Feature
Benefit to your show
Online pre-registration
Entrants can register before show day from any phone, tablet or computer—reducing queues, paperwork and data entry at the venue.

Entrant classes and categories
Create the classes and categories your show needs, from Junior and Senior through to Novice, Master or custom divisions.
Optional trophies and challenges
Add themed awards, same-kit competitions and sponsored trophies without forcing every model to participate.
Registration surveys
Collect useful information such as dinner attendance, photo permission or special requirements during registration.
Entry photographs
Bring entries and published results to life with photographs supplied by entrants or contributors.
